Need some opinions on wheels
Finally getting ready to replace my rims/tires. Narrowed it down to three choices:
Shelby CS69 in black
Shelby CS69 in hyper-black
And the old stand by, deep dish chrome Bullits
I had someone do a photochop for me, and here they are:
CS69 in black:
CS69 hyper-black
Chrome Bullits
I'm leaning towards #1, the CS69 in black. Just reminds me so much of the old Magnum 500's and I kind of like the sleek look to them. I'm also tinting by front and rear side markers too. What do you guys think? HONEST opinions wanted (and please none of the "It's your car, do what you like" comments! I want opinions here!

Go with black and here's why... I just went through the same delimma and was going back and forth between hyper-black and black. I finally made up my mind on Sunday and ordered the hyper-black. The selling vendor called on Monday to let me know the 18in hyper-blacks were not in stock (even at Shelby), but also shared a recent experience in which they had to order 6 of the hyper-black wheels to get 4 to match. I guess there are some inconsistencies with the paint color.
I also like the Magnum 500 wheel, but IMO the CS69s looks a ton better... a modern version, with a retro look. And quite honestly with your car's color, the black would look best along with being different as very few have these wheels
Mine were on truck for delivery today and of course the UPS guy shows up during a 30 min. period when I had to run an errand!!
Here's where I found the best deal and ordered mine http://www.buywheelstoday.com/produc...ned+Lip%29.bwt
And yes, I did try a couple of our site sponsors first, but no one carried 18in CS69s.
If you want, I can post up some pics tomorrow when they show up.
